The official MOTUC Staghorn Thread

I loved Staghorns voice in the cartoon, very unique in comparison to others and His battle antlers were a welcomed change from the norm. Staghorn always seemed like he could break off from the mutants and create his own little band of Troublemakers there on Denebria. I hope the 4h treat him and explain the missing eye for us ( hope that Sagitar did it),

Have to say this is probably the figure I am least looking forward to, at least because of what he looks like under his helmet. But I think in the end I will be okay, if the Horsemen do an awesome sculpt, which they no doubt will.

Enjoy my articles on action figures, Christianity, and much more on Infobarrel.

Staghorn had at least very good episodes under his belt: The Running of the Herd and Mutiny on the Mothership. He's like the Starscream of the Mutants, where he's the character who thinks that Flogg and Skeletor are inept leaders. He also has a feud with Sagitar.

NA sure likes it's animal references. We have Sagitar with horses, Tuskador with elephants and Staghorn with elks. Unfortunately, they gave these attributes to humanoid characters instead of making outright anthropomorphic characters like MOTU did.

Staghorn is another NA character (like Sagitar, Karatti, Hoove, Quake, Butthead, Artilla) who is better going off the animation model rather than the original toy. The original figure has a beer gut... Jetlag made the Mutants look much better.

^ I definitely agree with that. The cartoon versions of all the NA characters, both good and bad, were superior to the figure designs. I actually can't think of a single one where the figure was superior, except maybe Optikk...I thought he looked a bit plain on the show.

This guy's an example of where I am repulsed by the vintage toy, but really excited to see how he is produced in the Classics line.

Elks are cool, and it'll probably be his horns that draw me in the most. I think they'll be techno horns, and that's fair. However, I am hoping they have a bio-tech feel to them though vs. the industrial look of the toon and vintage figure.

Even though he is a mutant, I'd like to see him made more sinister/hawkish and less.... well.... ugly in the face, imo. I'd like the closed eye and snaggleteeth to stay, just a change in the nose and bug-eye.

Can someone help me out though, what was the functionality of his horns? They seem to point down, were they more defensive than offensive?

NA characters like Artilla, Butthead, Tuskador and Staghorn should be totally redesigned. I can't see them next to other MOTUC figures. Some already thought that Chief Carnivus or Count Marzo were "out of place" (personally, I don't think so, I think they look awesome), but with those NA characters, it would be much, much worse ! So a redesign is much needed for some NA characters, I think.

could be, beetles are cool too. I favor elks, but one could just as easily go with beetles.

I'm sure the Fab Four could do as they have with all the NA figures thus far and knock him out of the park.

The one thing we keep running into with NA, though, is that the bad guy designs tend to be more visually intriguing than the good guys, and that may be why the NA Classics mutants are so badly outnumbering the NA good guys right now. Flipshot turned out great, but there is generally a lot more for the Horsemen to work with when it comes to the mutants. I'm sure they could turn out a great Hydron, but someone like Staghorn plays so well into their strengths as sculptors and designers that he'd almost have to eclipse most of the NA heroes as a figure.

This is such a weird character. I can't wait to see how the Horsemen nail this one!

Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

I liked this character for having a mind of his own. very cool. not always a follower. one episode he formed a mutiny against Floggs command. Also what was cool about him was his rivalry with Sagitar. When a battle was personal he wouldn't fight using blasters he preferred his own body as the weapon.

Why is he the only evil mutant that doesn't have double letters in his name? Oh and Crita I guess. I wasn't all that familiar with these characters but can't wait to have them in MOTUC and was trying to remember who was on who's side. I thought I had it there for a second with the double letter for the mutants until he came along and Crita and Artilla threw me off too

Bring him on. But honestly he's not on my priority list of Space Mutants. I'd like Flogg, NA Skeletor, Crita, Hoove, Lizorr and Crystoll first (in that order). Then Staghorn, Quakke, Butthead and the Mutant Troopers.
